I offer gentle therapy and coaching for sensitive adults who have lost themselves through difficult life events, prolonged stress, or years of people-pleasing. When you’ve learned to adapt, stay quiet, or put your own needs aside to feel safe or fit in, you may feel overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, or disconnected from your true self and your deeper needs. Together we'll work at the pace of your nervous system, helping you heal old wounds and restore inner balance by reconnecting with your inner wisdom and reclaiming your authentic self. You don’t need fixing, just a supportive space where you can remember who you are.

I integrate talk therapy with somatic (body-based) work to help you move beyond patterns, regulate your nervous system, and safely process emotions.
I work with highly sensitive, self-aware people who often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many understand their patterns and can explain why they feel the way they do—but still find themselves overthinking, people-pleasing, or caught in emotional highs and lows they can’t seem to shift.
You might feel like you’re “too much” or not coping as well as others, while quietly holding everything together on the outside.
Together, we move beyond just talking—helping you safely reconnect with what’s happening in your body, so those patterns can begin to shift in a real, lasting way.

Are you coping on the outside while something inside feels unsettled, heavy, or hard to name?
There may be a part of you that stays hidden while you keep going for everyone else.
You might feel drained, restless, or quietly disconnected from yourself.
In therapy, that unseen part is warmly welcome.
We can slow down together, without pressure to explain or perform, allowing your experience to unfold safely.
You don’t have to hold it all alone here.
There is space to be met, understood, and gently begin to reconnect with yourself.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
